Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 172 If Heaven grants a gift but you don't take it, you'll suffer the consequences.

As he put the Elephant Staff back into his body, Chen Ping's lips curled into a slight, involuntary smile.

If we can switch back, everything will be much easier.

One martial spirit, two completely different attack systems—this unexpected change thrilled Chen Ping.

Holding the invitation to the treasure appreciation event back in his hand, Chen Ping was not as hesitant and timid as Huo Yuhao in the original novel.

In the original novel, Wang Dong excitedly dragged Huo Yuhao to the treasure appreciation event for a big sweep, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to let Huo Yuhao acquire more resources while he could buy on credit.

After thinking for a long time, Huo Yuhao finally came up with the saying that taking advantage of others requires paying back, and one should try to take as few advantages as possible, which amused Chen Ping.

Huo Yuhao had no idea how valuable the ability to borrow money in the capital market was.

Putting aside everything else, can a level 30 Soul Master and a level 50 Soul King make money at the same efficiency?
Even if both of them lead Soul Hunting Teams, one can only lead Thousand-Year Teams, and even then, during the safest period, they will most likely only be able to take on orders for one or two Soul Rings.

Another option is to start with a thousand-year order that requires three or four spirit rings. If the money is right, you can even take on orders to hunt ten-thousand-year spirit beasts. The efficiency of making money in this option is a whole order of magnitude lower.

Some resources, if you acquire them, will qualify you to reach higher levels; if you don't, you'll only stagnate in the same place.

As long as Chen Ping is qualified, even if someone dares to put a 100,000-year-old soul bone at the treasure appreciation event, Chen Ping will take it without hesitation.

After all, just as Qian Duoduo said before, rare metals classified as confidential or even secret are unlikely to be obtained by those merchants. They were most likely acquired by Elder Lin, the head of the Jubao Pavilion.

Chen Ping was actually using the academy's resources, the angel investment the academy gave him. What he needed to do was to convert those resources into combat power and improve himself.

That's roughly the idea.

He wasn't born with good fortune, where resources would rain down on him wherever he went. If he had resources, he had to consume them thoroughly. In the end, even if he was originally a good-for-nothing, after consuming so many resources, he would become a genuine genius.

Chen Ping wasn't the only one to receive an invitation; core disciples from every grade in the outer academy also received one.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Ping returned to the classroom to study, he saw Ning Tian and Wu Feng sitting in their original seats from before the class reassignment.

At this point, less than a quarter of the students in Class 1 had finished their assessments, and it was estimated that it would take two days to complete them, so the classroom was almost empty.

"You also received invitations to the treasure hunt?"

Chen Ping watched the two discussing how and where they should leave for the night and then spoke up.

On the reverse side of the invitation to the Treasure Appreciation Event, a gold-embossed map prominently displayed the exact location of the Treasure Pavilion within Shrek City.

"Yeah, our Class 3's assessment is much easier than your Class 1's, hehe."

Ning Tian was in a pretty good mood at the moment. She was indeed somewhat reluctant to go to the arena and fight to the death with soul beasts.

Fortunately, the support class didn't have to go through this kind of assessment. Without Chen Ping, the exam king, pressing down on them, Ning Tian easily won first place in the Class 3 promotion assessment.

That's why she's so lighthearted right now.

Wu Feng then took out his own invitation and looked at it, but he was completely baffled.

After all, Shrek Academy's design has always been quite peculiar. Although the academy itself is located within Shrek City, it only has one main gate connecting to the city wall for entry and exit. In other words, if students want to go into the city, they either have to climb over the wall or leave the city first and then enter through another gate.

Hmm. There's a kind of beauty that disregards the lives of the trainees.

Shrek City is very large. Even if you run at full speed, it would take about an hour to reach the North Gate, which is closer to the Treasure Hunt.

Fortunately, just like how every school has a few seemingly perfect spots to climb over the wall on its back hill, Chen Ping and his two companions didn't even go through the main gate. They easily jumped down from the more than ten-meter-high college wall and landed inside the city.

"Hey bro, how about I buy you a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend? Or maybe you can have two girlfriends?"

Seeing Chen Ping helping Ning Tian carefully land on the ground from the wall, a little flower girl quickly came over.

Just as I was about to promote what I was selling, I saw Wu Feng jump down as well, and no matter how I looked at it, the three of them seemed to be together.

The scene before her eyes left the young girl completely bewildered, and she couldn't process what she was saying. Halfway through her sentence, she changed her mind and asked Chen Ping if he wanted to buy flowers for both of his girlfriends.

The little girl selling flowers in front of me looks to be only eight or nine years old, and she is dressed quite simply.

Compared to the students in the academy who were generally not dressed in fine silks and satins, but at least looked presentable and well-dressed, it was like heaven and earth.

Chen Ping was amused by what the other party said. What did he do to deserve marrying two such beautiful girls at once, especially since they were both from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?

However, seeing the little girl's flustered expression, Chen Ping still bought all the dozens of roses she had picked. He took out a carving knife to remove the thorns from two of them and gave one to Ning Tian and one to Wu Feng.

This little girl reminded him of himself before joining the academy, when he used various methods to make a living on the mainland.

"Perfect timing, I've never made rose petal cakes before, now I have the ingredients."

Chen Ping gave each of the two girls a flower, earning a smile in return. Even Wu Feng, the boisterous girl, did not refuse the flower Chen Ping offered.

"I thought you two would return the flowers so I could make a couple more flower cakes."

Chen Ping glanced at Wu Feng and Ning Tian, ​​who were carefully arranging the flowers, and made a joke.

Ning Tian snorted: "Do you think all Xiao Feng and I do is eat? Such a beautiful flower, we should keep one to display it."

Wu Feng always felt that the young master's initial idea was not like this.

But since the young master said so, then she must have been mistaken, right?
After climbing over the wall and descending into the alley, Chen Ping and his companions officially entered Shrek City and easily made their way to the main street.

The main road in Shrek City is extremely wide, enough to accommodate eight carriages side by side. It looks spectacular, making one feel as if they are driving on a highway.

This wasn't the first time the three of them had been to the city, so finding Jubaoge was a piece of cake for them. They quickly spotted Jubaoge in the distance, following the map on the invitation.

Jubao Pavilion is a large shop that sells all kinds of items related to Soul Masters and Soul Instructors.

From a distance, the Treasure Pavilion is a huge building with four floors and a height of over twenty meters. The building itself occupies a large area and its exterior is magnificent, just like a treasure basin.
